[Solved] Abuse Support

Hope this is in the right place.
I'm desperately trying to get so support for emotional abuse. My ex and I split 5 years ago, not a happy relationship, but the abuse from her has continued. I have contacted all the usual support and my GP, it looked like I was getting somewhere but then the support agency decided I would be better off with someone else as they weren't geared up to deal with my issues. The agency they recommended have said they won't deal with me because I am not at high enough risk, I just keep going round and round in circles and just can't find any support in my area.
Does anyone know of any agency in the Havant (Hampshire) area? I'm at the end of my rope and it isn't getting any better.

Hi
Have you gone back to your GP again to tell them what has happened? I'm not aware of services in your area, but anything that isn't as a result of a referral is almost certainly going to cost you.

It might also be worth giving the Samaritans a call - I'm guessing that they will be aware of other services available.

Hi there

It’s very difficult to get help, whilst there seems to be lots of support for female victims of domestic violence, which is good, help for men is sadly lacking.

I don’t know of any area specific services, but there are national initiatives and support can be accessed by telephone, they may then be able to sign post you to help in your area.

If you’re struggling with your feelings you could call the Samaritans or try

www.thecalmzone.net who provide telephone contact and webchat

If the abuse is continuing you can take an injunction out on her to leave you alone, if you have texts or have called the police in the past, you can ask them to intervene. I’m sure one of the support agencies I’ve mentioned can talk you through your rights on that.

I hope you can find some help in your area, we are always here to listen and offer support.

All the best and stay safe.
